Facing these shadows, Li Chuan smiled faintly, his expression calm: "So what if it's Yun Valley, how can it stop me! Let your Valley Master come out and speak."
Seeing Li Chuan being so overbearing, the guards felt somewhat doubtful and unsettled.
The opponent obviously looks like a master; could he be sent by some major faction?
If it wasn't a big faction with a reputation and foundation in the Jianghu, who would dare come to Yun Valley and act recklessly?
Clearly, the situation has now slipped beyond their control, they definitely need to inform the Valley Master!
Soon, a guard hurriedly found Yun Valley's Great Elder, saying that a mysterious strongman had forced his way into the medicine house and named to see the Valley Master.
The Great Elder Fei Wuji had just been sleeping soundly but was suddenly awakened, looking utterly bewildered, wondering when Yun Valley had made enemies with someone?
This isn't logical!
All along, various major factions have been courteous to Yun Valley, everyone is good friends.
No, I've heard this mysterious young strongman specified to see the Valley Master, what does this mean?
Could it be that the other party has taken a fancy to the Valley Master's looks?
The Valley Master of Yun Valley indeed resembles a celestial fairy... no, a witch!
However, the Valley Master has been flying under the radar for years, and whenever traveling, always wears a trench coat and mask.
Could it be during this departure from the valley, she was targeted by some major faction?
"Quick! Go notify the Valley Master. And call all the experts in the valley!"
Anyone who can catch a Thunder Arrow with bare hands and crush it into powder is not someone to be trifled with.
Soon, Nangong Chunshui received the notice and led a group of elders and experts to the medicine house.
Ning Zhongze was among them, naturally.
Fei Xiang, who had been guarding outside, saw such commotion and felt secretly delighted!
Li Chuan, oh Li Chuan!
Dare to hit me!
Just wait and see how I'll take you down.
Meanwhile, Rong Xiaorong and her group residing in a nearby courtyard also heard the commotion, and walked out, somewhat puzzled: "Fei Shao, what's going on? Why does everyone seem so hurried?"
"Don't rush, I'll ask around."
Fei Xiang said, casually grabbing a Yun Valley disciple, pretending to be confused, and asked: "What's happening?"
"Brother Fei, it's the suspect who came to our Yun Valley today, took advantage of the darkness to break into the medicine house, which is a forbidden area, even for our disciples, they can't enter freely, yet he dared to break in, truly seeking death!"
Rong Xiaorong: "That kid is truly problematic, I kept saying we should have crippled him, pierced his collarbone, if we had done it then, there wouldn't have been so much trouble now."'
Liu Zihao showed contempt: "That kid is also smart, coming to Yun Valley to seek death, at least he'll die in a Feng Shui treasure spot."
Fei Xiang: "Indeed, Senior Brother was kind-hearted, let him go, who knew he'd insist on courting death!"
Weng Changting found it a bit strange; earlier when Fei Xiang gave them a tour, he praised Yun Valley's guards to the skies, saying not even a mosquito could get in, Li Chuan as being guarded, how come now he suddenly broke into Yun Valley's core forbidden area?
It seems contradictory!
...
While this group was waiting to see Li Chuan make a fool of himself, little did they know, Li Chuan had already been brought into the study by Nangong Chunshui, sipping the tea brewed by Nangong Chunshui, lying on the sofa with a look of enjoyment.
Upon seeing Li Chuan, Nangong Chunshui understood what was happening and promptly cleared Li Chuan of suspicion.
However, Nangong Chunshui didn't say he was her junior brother but rather introduced Li Chuan as a friend she had invited.
Li Chuan had thought that his Third Senior Sister might have a high status in Yun Valley; he hadn't imagined she was indeed the Valley Master!
Besides Nangong Chunshui, there was another sleepy old man wearing a robe, looking like he had just woken up, eye corners still wet from the sleep, indicating he had just been called up.
The old man named Feng Qingyang, Yun Valley's chief steward, akin to a butler.
Nangong Chunshui was dressed as before, in a black robe with a mask, her mesmerizing eyes the only visible feature.
Upon contact with Nangong Chunshui's gaze, the Lingxi True Qi within Li Chuan's body automatically began circulating, igniting a fire in his abdomen, raising heat on his skin, instinctively recalling past images of dual cultivation with his Third Senior Sister, if not for being a player seasoned in romance, he might not have been able to hold it!
Startled, Li Chuan diverted his gaze, though still feeling uncomfortable.
Since practicing the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, this was the first time encountering such a situation, simply unfathomable.
Curious what cultivation technique his Third Senior Sister practices.
Nangong Chunshui looked at Feng Qingyang, smiled: "Old man, how do you find this kid?"
Feng Qingyang smiled and nodded: "Very good!"
Li Chuan: "..."
He hadn't expected the old-fashioned elder to suddenly use English.
Feng Qingyang sighed: "Thankfully, taken by that old fellow back then at infancy, severely wounded, we all thought survival was hardly possible, yet now, he lives and even achieved this, truly amazing."
"But despite this progress compared to your enemies, it's still far from sufficient, the power disparity is as vast as the Pacific Ocean. Hence you have to remain discreet, avoid drawing attention, once discovered by those people, there will be trouble."
"Old man, you know my master? You are aware of my situation? Then can you tell me? What happened back then? Who are my enemies?" Li Chuan longed for truth, suffocated too long.
Feng Qingyang fell silent for a moment, then said: "Your master hasn't shared these details, indicating the time isn't ripe, these matters shouldn't be revealed by me."
Li Chuan looked puzzled: "Why not? At least some information should be shared, right? Daily pondering over my origins affects my cultivation."
Feng Qingyang paused again, got up, said: "Follow me."
Nangong Chunshui startled: "Old man, are you suggesting..."
Feng Qingyang nodded: "The lad has a point, certain details ought to be disclosed."
Nangong Chunshui: "Alright."
With that, the three of them entered an adjacent study, finding a hidden door on the wall, opening it revealed an elevator leading underground.
Upon entering the elevator, arriving at an underground hall.
Once the lights turned on, a classical room unfolded.
Feng Qingyang reached for a photo frame from a shelf, handing it to Li Chuan.
